  1. What a coincidence---I used to watch it sometimes with my grandfather. We also used to watch "Flip Wilson" together. Those were the days.
  2. The Larry Sanders Show (complete)---That would be nice.

    DORIS DAY

    I think the dismissive attitude of many people to her singing owes a lot to the fact that the style of singing she exemplified went pretty much out of fashion in the 1960's. But the woman did have skills, no doubt about it.
  4. I seem to remember people thinking the series was funny even back then.
  5. Very nice! Thanks for that, Lazaro. (Who's that blond woman who appears at the end?)
  6. I'm glad you had a good time. But the thought of someone being in Rome and missing San Francisco just really throws me for loop!
  7. That looks kind of funny on a board where so many people consider '60s Blue Note LPs as "modern jazz"... Ooh---snap!
  8. I guess the title of that early album, "The Who Sell Out," was more of a prediction than anything else.
  9. Wow...can't believe the Saints won, but I'm very happy for them and for New Orleans.
  10. Packing it in back in 1982 or '83 would have been sufficient.
  11. Sounds dated to me.
  12. Will be watching "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" later. Looking forward to spending some more time with George Smiley.
  13. Still younger than me... But honestly, no one I've talked to has ever said that they do anything but completely skip the halftime show. One wonders why they even have one.
  14. Boy, they must have offered Townshend and Daltry a really huge pile of money to do this.
  15. "Peabody and Sherman" was classic! And getting Edward Everett Horton to narrate "Fractured Fairy Tales" was inspired.
  16. Best animated TV series ever? Could be.
  17. Agree - one of the best movies of recent years. I very much agree too. It reminded me of being a teen and going to see foreign films at the library and "art" cinemas in Boston and the Harvard Film Archive.
  18. I'm a sucker for any and pretty much all of his collaborative albums...the Ben Webster, Desmond, Hodges, Monk, hell even the Getz I actually like quite a lot. They may have seemed like a publicist's notion, but as Stereojack so rightly said Mulligan seemed to thrive in these settings.
  19. I always thought of "Beyond Lies the Wub" as one of the greatest sf story titles of all time.
  20. With any luck, will finish up Smiley's People tonight.
  21. Damn phonies!
  22. I'd have to say I started out with the classics. Kind of Blue, the Louis Armstrong Hot Five and Hot Sevens, Basie, Ellington, and the Parker Dial sessions. Moved on from there.
  23. As usual, The Onion puts it all in perspective.
  24. Yeah, growing up in the 60's and 70's they NEVER showed repeats of "Have Gun" on TV where I lived. Finally checking it out on DVD a few years ago I was surprised at how good it was.
